24.7 IMPACT OF PROPOSED HSH PROJECTS

An impact of the proposed HSH network plan is analyzed by comparing network performance indicators of “Do-Nothing” case and “Proposed” case, in this section.

Table 24.7-1 summarizes the network performance indicators by traffic assignment case. The performance indicators of highway network include daily travel distance (vehicle*km), daily travel time (vehicle*hour), average volume capacity ratio, average travel speed. The following formulas describe the definition of each indicator.

Total travel distance: ∑ ⋅=k

kk lVTD

Total travel time: ∑ ⋅=k k

kk s

lVTT

Volume capacity ratio: ∑ ⋅=

kkk lQ

TDVCR

Average travel speed: TTTDTS =

Where, kV : Assigned traffic volume on link k

kl : Length of link k

ks : Average travel speed of assigned traffic on link k

kQ : Capacity of link k

The impact of the proposed HSH network plan can be summarized as follows: The total travel distance of “Proposed” case indicates 8.5 million PCU*km. By comparing

this value with that of “Do-Nothing” case, travel distance is shortened by 4%. This implicates that 4% of wasteful detour travel may be improved.

The impact on the improvement of travel time is more remarkable than travel distance. It

would be improved by 22% in 2020, and 40% in 2030 (222 thousand for “Proposed” case and 374 thousand for “Do-Nothing” case)

Average travel speed indicates the improvement of about 62%.

CHAPTER 25 GENERAL PROFILE OF TDG

25.1 PHYSICAL PROFILE 25.1.1 Topography

As shown in Figure 25.1.1-1, Mindanao Island can be divided into eight (8) topographical divisions, namely (i) Diwata Cordillera, (ii) Agusan Plain, (iii) Davao Upland, (iv) Bukidnon Plateau, (v) Cotabato Plain, (vi) Tiruray Upland, (vii) Lanao Plateau, and (viii) Zamboanga Upland. The Diwata Cordillera is a tightly folded mountain range which runs in an almost N-S orientation. It is located east of the Agusan River. The highest mountain in the range, with an elevation of 1,837 meters above sea level (masl) is Mt. Hilonghilong. Mt. Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, with an altitude of 2,954 masl, is found in the Davao Upland.

FIGURE 25.1.1-1 TOPOGRAPHICAL DIVISIONS OF MINDANAO ISLAND

The Elevation Map of Mindanao Island presented in Figure 25.1.1-2 corroborates the topographic features mentioned above. As shown in the map, Lanao and Bukidnon plateaus, as well as the Davao and Tiruray Uplands have topographic highs with minimum elevation ranging from 500-750 masl. There are only two areas, namely the Cotabato Plain and the Agusan Valley Plain that can be considered as lowland, with elevations ranging from 0 – 250 masl. These topographic lows correspond to two (2) of the nine (9) sedimentary basins found within the Philippine Mobile Belt.

25.1.2 Location

The Tagum-Davao-General Santos corridor traverses two regions and is located at the southeastern portion of the Mindanao Island. Davao del Norte, where Tagum locates, is situated in between latitudes 6o05’00”N and 8o00’00”N and longitudes between 125o18’25”E and 125o55’75”E.. Davao del Sur, where Digos locates, is situated in latitudes 5o22’42”N and longitudes between 125o05’42”E and 125o17’E.. General Santos City locates in between latitudes 5o58’N and 6o20’N and between longitudes 125o01’E and 125o17’E. Davao City and General Santos City are Chartered City and politically and administratively independent from provinces. These cities are also located in strategic positions of the provinces with natural harbors and typhoon-free climate.

25.1.3 Topographic Features

(1) Soil Types

Davao del Norte Tagum area is mainly Alluvium type rocks and located on major sedimentary basins in the Philippines. Other major soil type observed in the area is those developed form either alluvium washed from the uplands or from materials originating from igneous or sedimentary rocks. Most of the province’s soil types are the Camansa clay loam and Cabangan clay loam: the former is mainly found in hilly and mountainous area and the latter is in near the gulf. Other soil types that are observed in the region are San Miguel silty loam, Bolinao clay, Cabantian clay, hydrosols and undifferentiated mountain soils. Almost all the land with slope greater than 8% tends to be eroded. Davao City area Davao City consists of three major soil types: (1) soils of the plains and valleys; (2) soils in the intermediate uplands; (3) soil of hills and mountains. Type (1) is composite of San Miguel silty clay loam and Mitina clay loam which is originated from Alluvium parents rock. Type (2) is composite of various types of clays which is originated from igneous rock, soft corraline lime stone, and soft shales with mixtures of weathered gravels and pebbles. Type (3) is composite of Camansa sandy clay loam and mountain soils which is originated from shales and sandstones

with weathered gravel and sand, and various kinds of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Davao del Sur Most part of Sta.Cruz and Digos are located in Mt. Apo range and alluvium land. The portion of Mt. Apo range is steep formed with rocks agglomerated with volcanic flows and pyroclastic rocks. This is Pliocene-Quaternary rock formation and essentially composed of rock fragments of basillic andesite and pyroxene andesite cmented by tuffaceous matrix. Beds of tuff are horizontal to moderately dipping and are composed chiefly of consolidated volcanic ash and some tuffaceous materials. The existing national highway is running on the strip of the Alluvium formation along a sandy beach. General Santos City Area The land of General Santos City area is a mixture of many different types of landforms: Coastal, Broad Alluvial plain, Minor Alluvial plain, Residual terraces, Footslopes (Piedmont), Plateau, Hills. Major soil types are land clay loam, sand, and sandy loam. Total area of upland soil classified under Class B is 12,905 ha (24%) of the City.

(2) Slopes and Elevations

Davao del Norte The topography of Tagum is generally flat with certain rolling portions in the northern side (e.g. Nueva Fuerza, San Agustin, New Balamban, Pandapan and Magdum barangys) and coastal roads in the southern portion (along barangays Liboganon, Busaon and Madaum). One hundred percent (100%) of Tagum and Carmen and 80% of Panabo City are classified as “Alienable and Disposable Lands”. The rest of Panabo city (20%) is “forestlands”.

Davao City A substantial part of Davao City is mountainous, characterized by extensive mountain ranges with uneven distribution of plateaus and lowlands. The mountain range which delimits the western boundary of the city extends as far down to South Cotabato. This mountain range nurses the highest peak in the Philippines, which is Mt. Apo located at the boundaries of North Cotabato, Davao del Sur and Davao City. Mt. Apo has an elevation of about 3,144 m above sea level. It has been considered as semi-active volcano. Davao del Sur Lands are classified into two major classes by degree of slopes on the Presidential Decree 705: alienable and disposable (A&D) and forestlands. The A&D is land with slope between 0 and 18% and the rests are for the forestland. Slopes in the concerned municipalities, Digos and Sta. Cruz of Davao der Sur province are summarized in the table below.

Areas with critical slope (gradient of greater than 40%) are defined as Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs) and subject to EIS and ECC for an Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) such as road and bridge constructions. The areas with the slope greater than 50% (“very steep”) for Digos and Sta. Cruz are 18% and 30% of total areas respectively. More than 50% of total land areas of both municipalities are areas with slope greater than 30%(“steep” to “very steep”). Existing road running through Sta. Cruz from Digos to Davao is located on a narrow strip of land laying in between foot of steep mountains and built-up area of substandard-houses and plantations along sandy beaches.

25.1.4 Geology

(1) Seismic fault lines The Philippine Mobile Belt The Philippine Mobile Belt (PMB) is an actively deforming zone located between the Philippine Sea Plate and the eastern margin of the Eurasian Plate, where a complex system of subduction zones, collision zones and marginal sea basin openings are located. The subduction zones surrounding the Philippine Mobile Belt are with opposing polarities; i.e., subduction zones east of the mobile belt have westward vergence while those on the west are subducting eastward (Figure 25.1.4-1).

The Agusan-Davao Basin Among the sedimentary basins of the Philippine Mobile Belt, the Agusan-Davao basin has the thickest sedimentary fill, in places attaining a thickness of more than 12,000 m (Ranneft and others, 1960). It is formed over a mixed basement composed of ophiolitic and metamorphic rocks of unknown age, of pre-Oligocene arcs and Eocene limestones. The sedimentary fill is composed of Upper Oligocene - Lower Miocene limestones, followed by alternating layers of conglomerates, sandstones, shales and sometimes thin Middle Miocene carbonaceous layers (Figure 25.1.4-2). The Pliocene-Holocene cover is dominated by shallow marine deposits upgrading into fluviatile facies. The Agusan Davao-Basin follows a North-South trending axis and is traversed longitudinally by the Philippine Fault.

(Hawkins et al. 1985. Geology and Mineral Resources of the Philippines, Vol. 1, Revised Edition 2004.)

FIGURE 25.1.4-2 SCHEMATIC SECTION ACROSS THE AGUSAN-DAVAO BASIN SHOWING THE PHILIPPINE FAULT

ZONE AS A TERRANE BOUNDARY The Cotabato Basin The Cotabato Basin is another sedimentary basin in the island of Mindanao. It is located between the active volcanic arcs of Cotabato and central Mindanao. The general stratigraphy is similar to that of the Agusan-Davao Basin, except that the Upper Miocene - Pleistocene portion is more exposed. This layer of the basin is composed mainly of relatively undeformed shallow marine deposits dominated by conglomerates, sandstones and shales, grading into deltaic and fluviatile characters towards the south. The more deformed lower sequence is principally composed of volcaniclastics with minor intercalations of limestones. Ranneft and others (1960) put the thickness of the sedimentary fill at about 8,000 m.

TO THE EAST BY THE CENTRAL MINDANO VOLCANIC ARC The Philippine Fault and Other Active Faults The term "Philippine Fault" refers to a fault zone cutting almost the whole length of the archipelago. It has long been the subject of discussion especially regarding its exact trace, the rate at which it is moving and its geodynamic significance. The fault and its branches traverse the Philippines from Luzon to the north to Mindanao southwards, cutting across Bicol and the Visayas. As it traverses the whole length of the archipelago, the Philippine Fault presents at least three varying structural regimes. Consequently, three major segments can be distinguished according to structural character and data availability. These are (i) Northern Segment – NW Luzon to Lamon Bay, (ii) Central Segment – Bondoc Peninsula to Leyte, and (iii) Southern Segment – Mindanao and the Moluccas. The Southern Segment of the Philippine Fault – Mindanao and the Moluccas The existence and character of the Philippine Fault in Mindanao are up to present very controversial. Field studies coupled with remote sensing data (Pubellier et.al, 1991) show that the fault bounds the eastern flank of the Agusan-Davao Basin. In Surigao, the fault strikes N10-20°W. In Davao, it strikes practically N-S. In Surigao, a relay zone between two branches of the fault gives rise to a pull-apart feature expressed by the present-day Lake Mainit. South of the lake, the Lianga Fault branches out southeastwards towards the Philippine Trench. Further south in Davao del Norte, the southeast-trending Mati Fault serves as the southern most branch of the fault. Recent GPS measurements (Aurelio, 2001) indicate a southward decrease in slip rate along the fault from around 2.4 cm/yr in Surigao to about 1.0 cm/yr in Davao. Extensive structural investigations by Quebral (1994) show that the Philippine Fault traverses a sedimentary basin (Agusan-Davao) developed over a single pre-Oligocene volcanic arc. This observation is inconsistent with the hypothesis that considers the Philippine Fault as having been inherited from an old suture zone allegedly arising from the collision of two volcanic arcs (Roeder, 1977; Silver and Moore, 1978 a and b; Moore and Silver, 1983; Hawkins et. al, 1985; Florendo, 1987). It appears instead that in Mindanao, the fault reactivates old normal faults related to the formation of the Agusan-Davao Basin and that further to the south, it traverses the basin, the basement and the old volcanic arcs.

The Mindanao Fault The Mindanao Fault is a prominent NW-trending linear fracture zone on the western third of Mindanao Island. It has two distinct segments, including that which separates the Daguma Range from the Cotabato Basin corresponding to the Cotabato Fault segment. This segment is highly linear and has features suggestive of normal faulting although it may have been a left lateral strike slip fault during its early history. The Quaternary Mt. Parker volcano is located at the western end of this fault and, on radar images, seems to be cut by the fault. Terraces formed by Quaternary limestone mark the Daguma Range. These, together with the young morphology of incised river valleys, suggests a young age for the fault along which the Daguma Range was uplifted. Although Quaternary in age, it still has to be ascertained whether the fault is active or not (Quebral, 1994). The Sindangan Fault segment represents the northern continuation of the fault towards northern Zamboanga. Focal mechanism solutions of earthquakes offshore and narrow shear zones transecting recent gravel deposits suggest active left-lateral faulting (Pubellier et. al, 1991).

(2) Present Day Plate Motions in the Philippines Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements performed every two years since 1994 over a 42-station network distributed in Southeast Asia under the Project GEODYSSEA (Geodynamics of South and Southeast Asia) provided data for the analysis of the present-day motion of tectonic blocks in and around the Philippines. Motion vectors in the archipelago and vicinity are in the order of a few to several cm/yr. When micro-continental Palawan is held fixed, the slowest movements can be detected in Zamboanga at less than 2 ± 0.15 cm/yr westwards. Virac Island moves the fastest at over 7 ± 0.17 cm/yr northwestwards. Slower but comparable rates are detected between Surigao, Davao and Zamboanga. The largest extensional strain rate is detected on a NW-SE direction in NW Panay.

Fault lines are identified in Sta.Cruz, where the proposed HSH runs through, and other municipalities in Davao del Sur province. In an event of volcanic eruption of Mt.Apo Sta.Cruz and Digos City would be affected as well as Bansalan.

Southern Philippines A strong westerly relative plate motion component is observed on the southernmost station in Davao. This direction is almost perpendicular to the Philippine Fault and Cotabato Trench but oblique to the Cotabato Fault Zone. While this may imply frontal subduction along the trench, the computed motion vector may also mean that there is practically no lateral movement along the Philippine Fault along this segment. Further north in Nabunturan town, however, there are clear indications of recent activity along the fault (e.g. overturned Holocene alluvial deposits, Pleistocene anticlines cut by fault) while to the south in Mati and offshore Pujada, earthquakes possibly generated by a branch of the fault there, have been recorded for the past 100 years. From the Surigao station in the north of Mindanao Island, a significant movement of the Philippine Fault in the order of 2 cm/yr is registered. To the west, it is interesting to note the occurrence of the Cotabato Fault, a prominent NW-SE trending structure also believed to be a left-lateral strike-slip fault (Pubellier et al., 1991; 1993),

located behind the east-dipping Cotabato Trench. Seismicity along this subduction area is fairly high, although it is only known to occur on the northern segments of the Cotabato Fault Zone. Active Volcanoes in the Philippines Volcanic activity has been continuously active since Cretaceous times as suggested by the presence of magmatic belts of Cretaceous, Eocene, Oligo-Miocene and Plio-Holocene ages. At present, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology lists 22 active volcanoes and 27 inactive ones in the archipelago. Apo and Balut are two volcanic mountains in Davao area.

25.1.5 Rainfall and Temperature

Based on a recent study by PAGASA, about 50% of the annual average rainfall in the Philippines is attributed to the occurrence of tropical cyclones in its vicinities. Wettest parts consist of the northernmost part of Cagayan, Infanta, Polilio Island, eastern coasts of Leyte Island, Siargao Island, and Surigao del Sur with annual average rainfall of more than 4,000 mm. On the other hand, driest are the valleys in the Cordillera and the Sierra Madre ranges, the Central Plains of Luzon, Bataan, Batangas, Palawan, most parts of Region VII (southern portion of Cebu, most parts or Negros Oriental, and Bohol), the entire southern part of Mindanao including the southern tip of Zamboanga provinces and Basilan, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and parts of Misamis Oriental. Average monthly and annual rainfall and temperatures obtained from various weather stations in the Study Area are presented in Table 25.1.5-1.

Davao del Norte The climate of Davao del Norte province is type IV that no pronounced wet and dry season but has steady rain falls throughout a year. Typhoon does not affect this area due to preferable physical location of the region. Cumulative amount of precipitation is 2344.6 mm on average in Tagum City. According to Regional NDER’s report1 the wettest months in the province typically occur from November to February. Monthly average of precipitation observed for five years is about 176mm/mo for the province while that of Tagum City is 195.38mm/mo. Davao del Sur Davao del Sur is located in the same climate zone as Davao del Norte. Amount of precipitation in this province is about half of Davao del Norte, 90.2mm/mo on average. Ambient temperature is very steady throughout a year with an annual average of 33.7oC, which is about 6 degree higher than Davao del Norte. General Santos City General Santos City is also located in type IV climate zone. Amount of precipitation in this province is even lower than Davao del Sur, 77.1mm/mo on average. Ambient temperature is relatively stable year round; the averaged annual temperature of 27.7oC, close to that of Davao del Norte.

25.1.6 Watershed and Flood Prone Area

Davao del Norte 15 rivers and 12 creeks traverse the province, such as the Lasang, Tuganay, Libuganon and Saug Rivers. All these rivers flow into Davao Gulf. The province has plenty of water which contributes to economic growth while it also negatively impact to local economy when floods. Flooding can be classified as slight, moderate and severe. About 85% of the total provincial lands are subjected to slight flooding. This occurs mostly in the municipalities of Asuncion, Kapalong, St. Tomas, and the Island Garden City of Samal. A total of 17,743 ha (4.63 % of the province) experiences moderate flooding which largely occurs in Asuncion, New Corella, Tagum City and St. Tomas. Severe flooding affects an area of 39,565 hectares or 10.32 percent of the total area, and typically occurs in Asuncion, Carmen, Kapalong, Tagum City and Panabo City2. Tagum River, which is the main drainage of Saug and Libuganon Rivers, Magugpo, Mankilam and Cuambogan Creeks, and Hijo River locate in Tagum city area (Figure 25.1.6-1(ii)). Flood prone areas which are considered environmentally critical areas locate in barangays Cuambogan, San Miguel, Canocotan, Pagsabangan, Bincungan, Libuganon and Madaum. It was reported that the total area that flood frequently is about 7,000 hectors. The causes of flood are both natural and manmade: the path and shape of the rivers, continuous precipitation, sedimentation, high tidal level, and denuded upland/deforestation. Severe flooding affects an area of 39,565 hectares or 10.32 percent of the total area, and is known to occur in Asuncion, Carmen, Kapalong, Tagum City and Panabo City. The area along the last 36km stretch of the Tagum-Libuganon River, which is located to the southwest of Tagum City, is predicted to be a frequent flooding area (Figure 25.1.6-1(iii)).

Davao del Sur The province of Davao del Sur has total of 40 watersheds which include three major watersheds locating in Sta.Cruz, Digos, and Padada. The largest watershed is the Padada Mainit River watershed with a total catchment area of 1,220 km2. Several flood prone areas were identified in the Padada Mainit River watershed that is located in the south of Digos (Figure 25.1.6-1(v)). Balutakay River watershed, the second major watershed, contains Digos. Sibulan River watershed, the third largest, and Digos River watershed cover both Digos and Sta. Cruz. General Santos City There is no official comprehensive yearly record of flood event and damage in the City. The Study Team identified that a flood plain forming on last 2km of the Buayan-Malungun River in Sarangani Bay area and a 5 km-stretch section of about 10km-upper stream of the river as flood prone areas (Figure 25.1.6-1(vi)).

FIGURE 25.1.7-1 PROTECTED AREAS IN REGION XI

Davao del Norte For Davao del Norte, an only identified protected area is the Samal Island Mangrove Swamp Reserve (Proposed Babak Protected Landscape and Seascape). The protected landscape and coastline forms a part of Davao Gulf. Ten (10) hectares of open area are being considered for rehabilitation. Some reforested small mangrove colonies were observed from the existing national highway in between Tagum and Davao cities. Indigenous people (“IP”) and cultural communities are found mostly in the forest area including Ata, Manobo, Dibabawon, Mandaya, Isamal, Mansaka and Mangguwangan. The IPs’ rights and mandates are protected by the Indigenous People’s Rights Act (IPRA) Law on October 27, 1997. Government programs under the control of DENR shall only be implemented in an ancestral domain if there is consent from majority of the recognized leaders of the community. A total of 102 Certificates of Ancestral and Domain Claims (CADC) covering an area of 65,683 hectares have been awarded to 1,656 beneficiaries (Ata-Manobo Tribe) of Talaingod.

Davao del Sur Two national parks(NPs), one wildness area, three watershed forest reserves, and one mangrove swamp forests reserve locate in the region XI Mainit hot spring NP and Mt. Apo NP are located in Compostela and in Sta. Cruz area of Davao del Sur respectively. The wildness area is located in Davao gulf and on island of Pandasan. Makagos watershed reservation is in Davao City and other two watershed, Mati and Banganga watersheds are in Davao Orient, off the scope of the proposed HSH route. The mangrove swamp area is laying from Baculin point to Lakud point, Tanuip point to Kinablangan Island, and the island of Samal. None of the mangrove forests are located on the proposed HSH area.

General Santos City One game range and bird sanctuary, three watershed forests, eight national parks, two watershed reserves, and one mangrove forests reserve are located in Region XII. Sarangani Bay is also included in protected areas based on NIPAS law. Although no environmentally protected area is located in the land of General Santos City, several eco-parks, caves, falls, beaches, resorts areas and El Minit Geyser, which is the only the geyser in the Philippines, are located in and around the City. Some Mangrove swam is located along the shoreline of Bula, Baluan, Lbangal and Tambler bagangais. Moreover activities on the land eventually affect status and quality of Sarangani Bay. Integrated Social Forestry Program is undertaken by DENR in Upper labay, Conel, Olympag, San Jose, Sinawal, mabuhay, and Bawung barangays in the City. Other tourists’ destinations are Pedro St., Barangay Lagao, and Sarangani Highlands in Barangay Tambler, a few beaches (Dolores Tropicana Resort, Water Gran Beach Resort, London Beach Resort, Maharlika Beach Resort, T’boli Beach Resort, Rajah Beach Resort and Family Beach Resort) and spring resorts (Lagare Swimming Resort, and Olaer Swimming Resort).

25.2 PRESENT REGIONAL AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Similar to this project’s study areas in Luzon and Central Visayas, the Tagum-Davao-GenSan corridor is considered to be a growing economic belt in Mindanao. It connects two of the developing regions in Mindanao, Southern Mindanao (Davao region or Region XI) and Central Mindanao (SOCCSKSARGEN or Region XII). The former is considered as the gateway of Mindanao, while the latter is among the country’s growing regions in terms of regional economic development. Apart from agricultural resources, both regions have mineral resources that are regarded as contributing to the national economy. These define the respective land use patterns of the two regions. Basically, the two regions are contiguous and to some extend complement each other. There were instances in the past that some provinces of Central Mindanao were part of the Southern Mindanao region. Primarily, the Tagum-Davao-GenSan corridor passes through predominantly agricultural (including forest), tourism, highly urbanized Davao City, and industrial areas from Compostela Valley, Davao del Sur to South Cotabato. Similarly, the corridor is adjacent to areas that have potential mineral resources development in both regions. Likewise, the proximity of the corridor to coastal areas is another economic source or stimulus for the two regions. For this note, the corridor can be defined as a growing economic belt in Mindanao. The tourism areas are composed of nature-rich tourism products in the mountain, forest, aquatic and coastal areas. As such, the tourism development of the corridor can be categorized as agri-eco-tourism and coastal tourism that is supported by indigenous cultural heritage. Furthermore, agricultural development is anchored not only on cultivated products but also forest,

aquatic and marine developments. The corridor is situated where marine fishery is abundant, such as tuna. The corridor is also part of the BIMP-EAGA subregion and as such plays an important role in the subregional economic cooperation among Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. This is also one positive point that needs to be considered.

26.1.3 Location of Economic Zones, Major Shopping Malls, Interest Spots Figure 26.1.3-1 shows the distribution of economic zone / industrial parks in the Tagum-Davao-Gen. Santos City corridor based on the records of Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). Of the four (4) ecozones in Davao, three ecozones are related to Information Technology (I.T.) and their sizes are relatively small when compared to that located in Luzon’s (for instance, land area of Damosa I.T. Parks is just 22,983 sq. m.). Shopping malls, beaches and other interest spots were also plotted as shown in Figure 26.1.3-2. As shown in the figure, the places of interest are located mostly in and around Davao City.

26.2.2 Traffic Conditions

(1) Traffic Volume The traffic volume on the Tagum – Davao – Digos – Gen. Santos corridor is presented in Figure 26.2.2-1. Taking into account traffic between cities, high vehicle volumes are observed in the following sections: Carmen – Panabo, Panabo – Davao City and Davao City – Digos. Traffic volume inside Davao City is observed to be high especially at the Quirino Avenue where local traffic merges with regional traffic coming from as far as Cotabato City and General Santos City. Traffic at the diversion road is quite significant also almost as high as the traffic registered at MacArthur Highway which runs parallel to the diversion road. City traffic of General Santos on the hand is rather low compared to that in Davao City. City streets with significant traffic are: Pioneer Avenue, P. Acharon Boulevard, Davao – Gen. Santos City road, and Gen. Santos – Cotabato City road.

(2) Hourly Variation of Traffic The hourly variation of traffic is available from Figure 26.2.2-2 to Figure 26.2.2-4 (see Annex 26.1 for hourly traffic variation of other traffic survey stations). Traffic in the Surigao – Davao road is observed to peak at 8AM and considerable traffic is still observed at 8PM as shown in Figure 26.2.2-2. Traffic in the Davao – Gen. Santos road and Gen. Santos – Cotabato corridors, on the other hand, have their peak hour starts earlier at 7AM and sharp decline of traffic is observed as early as 5PM. Although both are inter-city traffics, the difference in traffic characteristics might have to do with the peace and order in the area. Perhaps motorists leaving from Davao to northern towns are quite comfortable traveling in the evening due to relatively peaceful environment. On the other hand, travelers from Davao City to Gen. Santos City and from Gen. Santos to Cotabato City are trying to avoid night time journey for security reasons. Hourly variation of traffic to city traffic of Davao is available in Annex 26.1. Traffic at the MacArthur Highway has almost the same volume in both directions and the high volume of traffic is almost continuous throughout the daytime. The same traffic characteristics are observed on the traffic recorded in the city of Gen. Santos (see Annex 26.1 for the graph).

(3) Travel Time Observed travel speed is along the Tagum – Davao – Digos corridor is depicted in Figure 26.2.2-5. Travel speed inside Davao City on the other hand is presented in Figure 26.2.2-6 while Figure 26.2.2-7 shows travel speed in Gen. Santos City. Details on each route are discussed below:

Route 1 – Travel speed in this route is rather good except for the sections approaching the diversion road of Davao City and the inside the Tagum city.

Route 2 – There is no major interruption to vehicular movements in this route except those motorists entering Davao City where they are expected to experience traffic congestions at the section before the diversion road.

Route 3 – Congested section in this route is between Gabantian Road and D. Quiniones Road where travel speed is expected to just higher than 20 km/hr.

Route 4 – This is a very congested route where slow vehicular movement is experienced from the approach section of the diversion road until Ecoland drive. Except to the Roxas Avenue – Agdavo Avenue Section, all other sections have travel speed of between 20 km/hr to 30 km/hr.

Route 5 – This is the most congested route where motorists’ movement is expected to be interrupted from Agdao Ave. to Ma-a road.

Route 6 – Generally, this route has no major traffic problem except to the section of Cahisot – Bula Amao road of the P. Acharon Boulevard.

(4) Vehicle Composition

The shares of each vehicle type are shown in Figure 26.2.2-8 and Figure 26.2.2-9. Number of traffic sharply increases at the urban center as observed from the two figures. Traffic recorded at the border between Carmen and Tagum is less than 10,000 vehicles but this number increases to almost double (18,944) at the center of the municipality. Most of the traffic, however, is local traffic (tricycles) which has a share of 44%. The same can be said of Figure 26.2.2-16 where traffic at the border of Carmen and Tagum is just 9,511 vehicles, but this number increases to almost 25,000 at the urban center of Tagum City. Again, most of the traffic registered is local traffic (tricycles) which accounted for 62% to the total traffic. The accumulation of a large volume of traffic on the national road at the urban center creates a chaos where local and through traffic is competing for road space. This seriously affects the movement of vehicles especially the through traffic that intends to reach Davao City. Improving the vehicle flow at the urban center requires serious efforts such as enhancement of traffic signals and perhaps even construction of bypass roads to separate regional traffic (or through traffic) from the local traffic.

The truck OD survey was carried-out at Davao (Sasa) Port, Gen. Santos Port, Davao International Airport and Gen. Santos Airport. Desire line maps of trucks related to ports/Airports were prepared as shown in Figure 26.3.1-1 (see Annex 26.2 for individual desire line of port and airport). ● Number of trucks related to ports/airports is still small. ● Both ports in Davao City and Gen. Santos City have rather limited service areas. ● Davao International Airport has wide service areas. ● Gen. Santos Airport has very limited service area.

26.3.2 Logistic Corridors of Manufacturing Companies

Officials of manufacturing companies were interviewed to obtain information on the source of their raw materials as well as destination of their final products. Through this survey, routes utilize by these companies were identified. Results of an interviewed company are shown in Figures 26.3.2-1 (see Annex 26-3 for routes of other manufacturing companies). Based on the said interview, logistics corridors are as follows; ● Pan Philippine Highway (Davao-Butuan) ● Davao – Cagayan de Oro Road ● Davao – Digos – Cotabato Road ● Davao – Digos – Gen. Santos Road

26.3.3 Comments on Problems Made by Manufacturing Companies, Trucking / Logistics Companies The problems identified by interviewed manufacturing companies and trucking and logistics companies related to transportation of their cargoes are summarized below: Manufacturing Companies

Frequent delayed arrival of vessels Late delivery to clients due to poor road condition, traffic congestion, and poor traffic

regulations Parked vehicles on road shoulders (on-street parking) is causing traffic congestion

Trucking Companies

There is heavy traffic congestion on highways passing public markets. Relocation of these markets is necessary.

National road from Digos City to General Santos is in poor condition and with potholes. These cause road accidents.

Plenty of potholes along Mabini Street and other city roads of Davao City which creates traffic congestion

There is also heavy traffic congestion between Paracan and Tibungco in Davao City which affect transportation of cargoes

Long waiting time of trucks inside the port due to frequent delayed arrival of vessels Heavy congestion is experienced at the port’s access road during morning and afternoon rush

hours

27.2 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO 27.2.1 Trend and Direction of Regional Development

Chapter 25 has provided a position of socioeconomic development of the regions traversed by the Tagum-Davao-GenSan corridor. It is expected that there will be no major shift in the comprehensive development approach for Central and Southern Mindanao. Their regional development will not have significant makeover but instead more focused on their strengths that are inclined on agricultural development, coastal development, agri-forestry and mineral development with major tourism development. Clustering development approach is one facet of regional development in the two regions, same as in the other study areas. Furthermore, Davao City and General Santos City will still continue to expand their urbanization. Metropolitanization is now being promoted for Davao City and its environs. General Santos City, together with the other provinces in the region adheres to clustering development and corridor growth approach. Tourism development is toward the advantage of the two regions’ coastal and forest areas and indigenous cultural heritage. Their cultural heritage is manifested by the presence of tri-people (Muslims, Lumads and Christian settlers) influence. Same as in the two study areas, clustering of tourism spots are encouraged being encouraged.

Urban and regional development initiatives by the private sector have started and are expected to continue. Finally, subregional cooperation in the context of the BIMP-EAGA is another factor in the two regions’ comprehensive development framework.

27.2.2 Regional Development Scenario

Characteristics of the Corridor, Metro Davao and Mero Gen. Santos can be summarized as follows; The Corridor ● The corridor except Metro Davao and Metro Gen. Santos is basically for agro-fishery

production and agro-fishery based industry. ● Food supply from the corridor to Luzon and Visayas Regions is expected to be the major role

of the corridor. ● Export oriented agro-fishery based industry is expected to grow in this area. ● To provide efficient and reliable means of transportation of agri-fishery products is a key to

support the agri-fishery industry. Metro Davao ● Metro Davao is the center of business/commercial/finance and education of entire Mindanao. ● Metro Davao is the core center of BIMP-Eastern ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA). ● In order to achieve integrated development of Mindanao, improvement of connection/linkage

between Metro Davao and other urban centers of Mindanao such as Metro Gen. Santos, Metro Cagayan de Oro, Metro Butuan, Metro Cotabato and Metro Zamboanga is a key.

● Metro Davao has been developed at the narrow coastal plain. Topographical constraints

force the concentration of socio-economic activities at the narrow coastal areas. ● Metro Davao has rich tourist attraction resources which should be further developed. ● Metro Davao is the base for exporting, agricultural products such as bananas, coconut oils,

etc. Metro General Santos ● Metro Gen. Santos is basically the base of export of fishery products and agricultural

products such as tunas, pineapples, rice, etc. ● Metro Gen. Santos is the center of regional urban growth. Based on the above characteristics of the corridor, the development strategy was established as shown in Figure 27.2.2-1.

● Metro Davao shall grow as the business, commercial, industrial and educational core of the entire Mindanao.

● In order to achieve the integrated development of Mindanao, the linkage/connection between

Metro Davao and other major urban centers in Mindanao shall be strengthened. ● To strongly support the development of agri-fishery industry in Mindanao, transport axes

connecting major urban centers with Metro Davao shall developed.

- Davao-North Mindanao development axis - Davao-Region X development axis - Davao-Cotabato development axis - Davao-Gen. Santos development axis - Gen. Santos-Cotabato development axis

● As the core center of BIMP-EAGA, Metro Davao’s urban function shall be further developed. ● As the regional urban center, Metro Gen. Santos’ urban function shall be further developed.
